YouTube Mobile with "Xd" in video address causing an emoji to appear - Solution

I was trying to share a YT video address in a text to a friend. The YT address had "Xd" in it and it was being sent with an emoji in that part of the address, instead of the "Xd" showing in the YT address.

Solution: I searched the Settings, on the Main Page for Texting, from the triple-dot icon, and under a sub-heading labeled "Eye Candy" I de-selected the option: "Show ASCII Smiley as Emoji."

I use a 3rd Party App for texting called "Chomp" on my Android phone.
